Beautiful 2" domed green stone cab set in sterling. First picture is blurry, but it shows the beauty of this lovely green jasper? stone. The frame is ringed w/sterling beads and the cuff a hefty pyramid 2 row treatment. I think this might have been made in the 70's but I don't know. Any info is appreciated.

very nice beautiful jewels:)
Thank you Bellin68 - as you can see I mainly have jewelry -my magnificent obsession. It doesn't take up as much space as my vintage fabric tornado or the tooled leather purses, or the 500 vintage research books and magazines....sigh....my family and sweetie think I'm messy and distracted "why can't you just sell some of this?" Truth is - I have so much I'm not sure what is where and yes...some of it could go...but not yet. I love CW because it reminds me others LOVE the hunt and collect too.
your very welcome valention97 :) and i totally agree with you :) im the same way with my things in my collection as well :) im pretty much a neat freak on my end :) i totally understand:)
Are there any marks at all?
Its Navajo, 1970's-80's. That pyramid shaped shank is referred to as "carinated."
Neat stone, unusual in Native American jewelry
Thank you as usual for your help. No marks - maybe it isn't .925 grade but I'm sure there is some sterling content because it shines up beautifully. Yes - I agree w/time-frame. I found it at a swap meet in the 90's for very little $ - probably since it wasn't marked.
Thank you AmberRose, Kerry and MustangTony for your love.
